For Massimo Faggioli, the debate about the meaning of Vatican II too often misses the profound significance of that council's first and perhaps most consequential document, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The result is a misunderstanding of both the council as a whole and the liturgical reform that followed from it.

In True Reform, Faggioli takes Sacrosanctum Concilium as a hermeneutical key to the council. He offers a thorough reflection on the relationship between the liturgical constitution and the whole achievement of Vatican II and argues that the interconnections between the two must emerge if we want to understand the impact of the council on global Catholicism.

Massimo Faggioli is assistant professor of theology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has written extensively on modern Church history and on Vatican II. He is the author of Vatican II: The Battle for Meaning (Paulist, 2012).

Massimo Faggioli discusses the importance of Yves Congar Journal of the Vatican II Council

Massimo Faggioli has emerged as one of the most insightful and energetic young scholars in Catholic theology today. In this bold new book, Faggioli makes a compelling argument that the significance of Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy was not limited to liturgical reform; the document established a compelling ecclesiological vision that set the agenda for later conciliar documents and the postconciliar church. Faggioli lays out for us what is really at stake in the many recent assaults on the council's liturgical reform-nothing less than an assault on the entire ecclesiology of the council. This book belongs on the short list of those truly indispensable studies of the Second Vatican Council.
Richard R. Gaillardetz McCarthy, Professor of Systematic Theology, Boston College
Faggioli argues masterfully for the ecclesiological dynamic of Sacrosanctum Concilium.
Hilmar Pabel, The Tablet
True Reform is a thoroughly documented analysis of Sacrosanctum Concilium and its reception by the Second Vatican Council itself. The document's connection with the ecclesiology of the council emerges fully. In this way, the book provides a deep understanding of the council in its liturgical dimension and its unavoidable call to reform the church in order to be more faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ingrid J. Peterson, OSF, Co-author of The Franciscan Tradition
This is a valuable, even groundbreaking, study for the interpretation of Vatican II. Faggioli succeeds in showing how the liturgy constitution and the subsequent liturgical reform are essential for the understanding and implementation of the council. It should be required reading for ecclesiologists and historians of the contemporary church as well as for students of the liturgy-perhaps even for members of the Roman Curia.
John F. Baldovin, SJ Professor of Historical and Liturgical Theology, Boston College
An articulate, clear response to those who seek to reject the liturgical renewal of the Council as inauthentic, antiquarian, and modernist.. A must-read for all those seeking a deeper understanding of the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical renewal of the Church.
Timothy O'Malley, Church Life
I was particularly struck by the richness and multifaceted dynamism of the liturgical reform that Faggioli describes. . . . This work is both thought-provoking and timely.
Rita Ferrone, Commonweal
